I can't remember your original post, so this point may be repetitive. Before you get to the "after using tools" step, in other words, before you do any pen testing at all, make sure you have permission to do the test. Preferably in writing. In your request for permission at the minimum, clearly state what type of testing, and when you will be doing it. You don't want to do your testing and accidentally crash something in production that you might not be aware is going on. This is definitely a situation where it is MUCH better to ask for permission BEFORE doing. Even though you are doing this in-house, you don't want to surprise anyone else if there are problems.
